Cali is addressing the climate challenge by focusing on reducing carbon emissions and improving sustainable mobility.

To start, the city is switching to locally produced biogas to fulfil its energy needs. It is also bringing more residents to sustainable transport by upgrading public vehicles and buses, as well as extending cycling and pedestrian networks to reach more neighborhoods. Cali is encouraging its residents to use car-sharing, public transit, walking and cycling as their number one means of transport.

WHY WE LOVE CITIES

Over half the world’s population now live in cities, and they generate over 70% of our climate footprint. But cities also offer an immense opportunity to create better places to live while contributing to a healthier planet in the process. Through better transport, green buildings, harnessing the power of nature, wasting less and loving more, cities can lead the way to a climate-friendly future.
